Waiting for the library to call!

I am now the proud owner of a "finishers" bag from the public library's adult reading program! The books I read are as follows;

T is for Trespass by Sue Grafton (Arts & Entertainment) Not my favorite of the series but I really enjoyed it, kinda like catching up with an old friend! I just wish she would write faster.

Audacity of Hope by Barak Obama (News & Current Events) I listened to this one on CD read by the man himself. I really like what he has to say about education reform and whether you agree with him or not, the guy sure is a great public speaker! (Especially when you compare his speaking style to the less than fluent current president.)

Pomegranate Soup by Marsha Mehran (Food & Family) Three sisters flee Iran and start a cafe in a small village in Ireland. This was suggested on the library website and the setting intrigued me. This was an interesting combination of Iranian food with Irish culture and made me ready to book another trip to Ireland!

The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak (Time & Place) Wow! My favorite and a book club selection!

Out of Range by C.J. Box (Nature) The second in the Joe Pickett series. I loved the outdoor park setting and how it is almost one of the characters in the story. Looking forward to hearing this author speak in June!

The Bleachers by John Grisham (Sports) This story about the reunion of a group of small town football players at their coach's funeral was a change from other Grisham books I have read. Not my favorite and I think there is a reason why this one wasn't made into a movie!

Now I am just waiting for the library to call to let me know which of the prizes I have won! Monthly drawing will be announced April 4th and the GRAND prizes the week of the 13th!
Keep your fingers crossed!
